When Stella starts crying, the first thing you've got to do is put some sort of big hat on her. That calms her down right away. I'm not kidding here, but babies just love big hats. Proven fact. She sat in this for hours. Happier than a clam.

Stella wore her Christmas outfit and even opened a few presents herself. I think it's safe to say that she had no idea what was going on.

Or someone else with a log of outfits. I don't know when she changed clothes Christmas morning but she did. Whatever.

Since Christmas and the start of Chewbacca fall on the same day this year, perhaps this is her Chewbacca outfit. I'll have to teach her that dradle song when she gets older.

Stella's best present was the knife set her grand-dad gave her. She played with it for hours.

Stella took her 100th bath while she was in Kansas. It was pretty exciting.
